Tai Asoke Buddhist Community Network Praised DA.AI’s Eco Practice

Details

Published Date

On March 5, 2018, a group of Tai Asoke Buddhist Community Network from Thailand, including two Dharma Masters and 17 disciples, visited Tzu Chi Neihu Recycling Center and DA.AI Technology, where they felt marveled of what they saw. The Asoke Buddhist community is extremely self-sufficient and have amazing workshops and programs on how to engage sustainable economy and Buddhist theory into practice. After Tzu Chi assisted Thailand, two Dharma Masters led their congregation to Taiwan to discover Tzu Chi's spirit and aimed to learn more about the organization’s four missions and eight footprints, especially environmental protection mission, which can be implemented in Tai community in future.

Sister Tsai Li Gan stated, “the tour enables the visitors to be more familiar with Tzu Chi and DA.AI’s eco spirit and how it links to heart purification. This is little known in Tai communities.” The 67-year-old Ye Zhi-Ging went to the paper recycling zone in Neihu Recycling station and wondered why the volunteers were cutting recycled papers. "They were cutting off the white section to reduce the amount of paper undergoing the bleaching process during recycling. In addition, it will enhance the value of recycling white paper at the same time,” Tzu Chi’s environmental Bodhisattvas explained. Ms. Ye was so moved, “it’s really remarkable that Tzu Chi environmental protection is such detail-oriented and its recycling resources are well classified."

In DA.AI, staff Tom Yang shared with the visitors, “DA.AI’s Super Functional Pressure Garments for Limbs has just received a Gold Medal from Bangkok International Intellectual Property, Invention, Innovation and Technology Exposition (IPITEx ) in January 2018, and thanks for all the global awards that recognize DA.AI’s continuous efforts in research and development.” DA.AI encourages visitors from different countries with diverse backgrounds, so we can also learn and share new eco experience from each other.
